Did you put this in the Arms for privacy purposes or can I relocate it to the Insurance Forum?

Tools Cover: £2,000, Tools Cover Premium: £71.81.

Tool cover is extortionate, in well under two years of premiums you'll have paid more than the claim limit and that's not factoring in any excess on a claim.

yeah you can put it in insurance forum, i was half asleep at the time and wasnt sure if id scrubbed all my details.


yeah it seemed expensive to me to be honest.

when i was looking most of them wanted you to ring them to get a quote

Mine is several hundred but I have declared working on 3ph and also machinery control which tends to triple things, many companies forget to declare 3ph work and this can void the insurance policy if the claim is relative to 3ph work. I'd be really happy with a quote as low as that, although I'm not sure what the going rate is for 1ph work.

Seems pretty good to me although I had 4K tools/materials/stock cover with van ins for £70 and cancelled that as it's nowhere near enough. Prob got 4K of hand tools lol.
Sorry to hijack but anyone know a decent insurer for tools etc looking around 8-10k cover

It shouldn't triple it Dave, I think the cost should increase by

got a quote from simply £900
 
I'm with simply business and my £2M PL including TP+N work comes to £80 a year. PI adds about £120 to this. I don't have tool cover. That's underwritten by Zurich.

im going to speak to them again cause my quote from simply is 800 a year lol
 
ill ring them again

Hang on a minute, I'm getting a recollection from a couple years back on the phone with simply business. They gave me a massive quote too. Turned out that when I asked for three phase work to be included they put me down for HV.

thanks ill check with them
 
I got a quote a couple of years back from simply business, £220 for £5 million PL, didn't seem too bad, but was looking at getting work through a company doing commercial work and needed £10 million, was an extra £600! Numb nuts here paid it and the work never materialised with said company, it was through someone I knew who worked for the company, they assured me it would happen.........safe to say they aren't on my Xmas card list anymore!

I am through NAPIT insurance. I think anybody can use them though.

I have
PL £2m, PI £500K and something like 6K tool and parts cover. I also do around 20% joinery work which is covered. I think it's around £28 per month.

What really pxsses me off about this expense is that mine is still way below scam membership - at least the insurers would payout in the event of a claim - but what would a scam do.....

Just looking through your OP. My policy allows certain subbys also, with caveats aplenty!
They were very thorough on the phone and took 30 mins of questions and explanations to set up.

I thought it was a fair enough price, as I have heard of separate PI policies costing £2-300 themselves.
